A new study published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, shows that blocking certain subreddits on your feed can actually make you feel more social.
Reddit is one of those platforms that makes it easy to find new people to hang out with in your area. But it also has a massive amount of content that isn’t always good. When people are looking for something specific they often end up blocked from finding it, which makes them feel lonely and isolated. But this study takes it a step further by showing how this can actually make you feel more social.
You can try to block certain subreddits that youre into, but if you block all of them, youre just blocking yourself. You might feel more social, but it wont mean youre going to visit the subreddits you feel like youre missing out on. And so you might actually miss out on a lot of things.
With the introduction of these things called “blocklists,” the best way to go about blocking certain subreddits to prevent them from being found for you is to go to the website blocklist.com, which can be found on the sidebar of your own WordPress dashboard. But be aware that you have to enable it first in your site settings.
If you decide to do this, make sure you do it in two steps, as there are a few caveats: 1) Be sure to check the site for any pop-ups that might be telling you to “block” a certain subreddit. 2) The first step can be disabled for a variety of reasons, which you can find out by visiting the site blocklist.com.
The thing is, if you do it right, you won’t have to mess with your site settings. First, you will need to go to the site blocklist.
You can do a quick Google search to verify that it was enabled on your site settings or check the site settings blocklist.com.
The site settings blocklist.com is a list of whitelisted subreddits, including the popular ones I mentioned. If you go to it, you will see that they are enabled or disabled depending on what subreddit you are on. The first step is disabling the whitelisted subreddits. To do that, you will want to go to your site settings blocklist.com and click the gear icon, then remove the subreddits that you do not want to see.
This is actually extremely easy. To disable a subreddit for a particular page, just go to your site’s blocklist.com and click on the subreddit you want to disable. If you want to block all those subreddits, you can use the blocklist.com settings again and disable them all.
At the time of this writing, the three most popular subreddits are Pornhub, Tumblr, and reddit.com. These subreddits are a great place to start when trying to block a subreddit, but you can also use other tools like the subreddit tool of your choice to try to get the subreddits blocked.
